The Riga Dance Club is a movement that started over 20 years ago, when people regularly gathered to play and dance folkdances together. This movement has since spread to other Latvian cities and regions, as well as is popular in Estonia and Lithuania. During these evenings everyone can join and play along, but the most active musicians form the core of the Club and they define which dances will be played and what will be danced.
Longterm leader of the Riga Dance Club is Valdis Putniņš.
